Most of the time, the sites they link generate money based on clicks similar to ad revenue so they don't need your info. Another tactic is that they do this to spike the amount of hits a site gets so they can turn around and sell the domain for large amounts claiming it gets a lot of visitors.
Though always be weary since a lot of times they will have viruses embedded in either the cookies or the img files and are doing it just to be malicious hoping to infest peoples computers.
